Benefits & Features
Vertically Perforated Side Plates
Better load visibility and easier positioning. Plates are hardened to HB450 standards providing higher wear resistance.
Specially Designed Pins
Oversized pins have high resistance against torque forces and increased durability. Grooved bushings allow for easy greasing.
Optimally Designed Linkage
Minimal height increase when opening and closing. Optimal cylinder guidance ensures high clamp forces during closing.

Oversized Cylinder with Load Holding Valve
Ensures even, high clamping force to prevent loss of load. Load holding valve keeps clamp force constant even when maneuvering grapple or machine to ensure controlled load movement.
Slim Design
Easier maneuvering within building construction or containers in demolition and recycling applications. Optimal jumper lines routing avoids damage.
Robust Bolt-on Cutting Edge
Provides high wear lifetime. Plow bolts utilize recessed nuts and are fully protected.
High Displacement Motor
Robust hydraulic design maximizes rotation torque and optimizes rotation speed.
Widest Frame in Class
Strong design protects internal components from debris damage.
Oval Service Access Panels
Easy service through two access panels; one on front and one on back.
